NATURE PHOTOGRAPHER is an international photography magazine published six (6)
times a year. The focus of NATURE PHOTOGRAPHER is photographing in the
wilderness
throughout the world. We are looking for two to five articles per issue
that discuss how to
improve technique (e.g., submit thorough, well-planned how-to articles) for
all aspects of nature
photography in the wild, including macro subjects,wild flowers, wildlife,
landscapes, underwater,
and nature abstracts. Looking for travel destination articles and unique
photo location pieces
which include how-to information. Please, no pets, images of wild animals
that have been
obtained by feeding the animals (birds at backyard feeders are acceptable
for publication),
wildlife
setup shots, zoo shots, or shots of animals confined in any way (this
includes insects, reptiles,
and amphibians). No game farm "rent-an-animal" images accepted. Due to the
wilderness
focus of NATURE PHOTOGRAPHER, we do not accept computer manipulated or enhanced
images. NATURE PHOTOGRAPHERĘs regular departments are staff-written and
include
interviews, field notes, wildlife images, wild lore, conservation articles,
and equipment reviews.
The one exception to regular departments beings staff written is Photo
Techniques and Gear
which is written by various experts in the field of photographic techniques
and those who are
well familiar with photoraphic gear. We welcome queries for this
department. QUERY BY
